Advanced examples Test & Analysis Project LowE e.m. physics Maria Grazia Pia, INFN Genova on behalf of the T&A team, LowE+advanced ex. WG et al. Geant4 Workshop, CERN, 4 October 2002

Advanced examples LHC-like examples on their way… lAr_calorimeter, composite_calorimeter in CVS, running and producing plots Thanks to Sunanda Banerjee (CMS) and Peter Loch (Atlas) for providing test beam applications as a starting point Thanks to Alex, Henrique (Boulby Mine exp.), Lorenzo (Anaphe), Pedro (CMS), Alberto, Patricia (LCG-CERN/IT/API) for helping with the “pedagogical transformation” of the test beam codes Work will continue in the next weeks, in view of the December release LHC experiments are welcome to review the examples, provide suggestions, improvements (also in future releases) Perhaps also useful as benchmarking testbeds? Other LHC-like examples welcome LHCb? First contacts established, postponed because of limitation of resources

Test & Analysis project Fruitful and collaborative discussions across various WGs Thanks to Alberto, Andreas, Gabriele, Lorenzo, Michael, Pablo, Sandra, Sergei, Susanna… Agreement on the vision proposed on Tuesday morning Review of requirements 2 new versions in a week! analysis of need, priority, stability identification of sub-teams responsible for each requirement (STT, AIDA, Anaphe, physics WGs, project team etc.) Update in CVS/web http:://www.ge.infn.it/geant4/analysis/TandA by the weekend Still to be clarified: contribution of Anaphe members to the project they are key team members for the success of the whole project! Analysis and design of the system needed soon…

LowE e.m. sessions Joint session with users “Developers” session Highly successful (10 user presentations, wide audience, in spite of low tone announcement) Results, problems, requirements… all will be available on the web Lot of interest (and work done by WG members) on GRID, distributed computing… “Developers” session Review of recent results and current status Still open problems: electron processes, performance Extensions and improvements (Compton, Bremsstrahlung), in response to URs Still lack of resources for physics consolidation, core testing, performance studies Cosmic ray physics (organized by LowE, joint with std e.m. and hadronic) Interest for collaboration with Univ. Campinas on fluorescence extensions

Highlights and outlook… (a personal selection) Ignominy… Distributed computing, GRID… Performance optimisation… Inter-WGs projects… (e.g. Test & Analysis) Openness to the world around us… Users, physics, technology, tools… Reports at next year’s workshop!
